Comoviruses: Identification and Diseases Caused

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: The Viruses ((VIRS))

Abstract

The comoviruses are remarkably similar in many of their properties, such as the size and morphology of their particles and the sizes of their particle proteins and RNA components. They do not differ consistently in physical properties, such as thermal inactivation point (60–75 °C), longevity in vitro (a few weeks), and dilution endpoint (10-3-10-5). All comoviruses are good antigens and several are serologically related to others. All are, or are presumed to be, transmitted by leaf-feeding beetles. Their pathology, epidemiology, and control were reviewed by Stace-Smith (1981).
